, Present.T
فَحُحَ
and
فَحِحَ
the former dev. from a general rule, which requires the Present.T of a verb of this class when intrans. to be with kesr only, Verbal.Noun فَحِيحٌ and فَحٌّ and تَفْحَاحٌ, [the last an intensive form,] The viper [hissed, or] made a sound to proceed from its mouth: (S, K, TA: [see a verse cited voce مِطْحَانٌ:]) or what is meant by this verb is [it made a sound by] the rubbing of one part of its skin against another part: or its making a sound to proceed from its skin is termed كَشِيشٌ, or خَفِيفٌ: some use this verb (فحّت) in relation to any serpent: others, peculiarly in relation to the female of the [serpents called] أَسَاوِد. [J gives here a list of intrans. verbs of this class which have the Present.T with damm, anomalously, and also with kesr; and a list of trans. verbs of the same class which have the Present.T with kesr, anomalously, and also with damm: but both lists are defective; and it would be difficult to make them complete.]
